EELISA’s Year-End Highlights: impactful moments and insights

As the end of the year approaches, it becomes essential for us to pause and reflect on the journey we’ve undertaken—a journey filled with innovative learning experiences, transformative challenges, and unprecedented collaboration. There have been numerous impactful experiences, too many to capture in just one page. Below, the EELISA communication team has compiled a selection of EELISA “Standouts”—events and processes that have stood out for their impact (and they admit that it hasn’t been an easy undertaking!).

We also take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all the #EELISANarrators (students, faculty, staff, and collaborators) who have shared their experiences with us through their testimonies and insightful articles.
